St Moriz Tan Review

Okay, so this is a bit of a mixed review. I neither love nor hate this tan. (weird I know). I got this because I felt that the Sally Hansen tan made me look like a fairy, due to the sparkles in the tan. So whilst shopping one day, I decided to take the plunge and buy this tan.

The tan is a mousse, so initially I thought it would be easy to apply. How wrong was I. If the tan if left on the skin for more than 30 seconds, It dries in leaving an orange patch, which unfortunately doesn't come off that easily. Once the tan is applied, It smells dreadful. But, I got over the smell, because I really wanted a tan for the night. I was wearing a white top, and during the night, if I began to sweat at all, I would see a rainbow of colours on my top under my arms. Also, any little bit of water will leave a bit streak in the tan. I actually got a drink spilled all over me on a night out & because I was wearing a crop top, I had massive streaks all over my stomach. Did I mention this tan also goes green? Yes, when I arrived home, my feet, which were also victims of the spilled drink, had gone GREEN. I had heard this happen to other people before, but I never thought it would happen to me as I had applied it with a clean tan mit. 

The other side to this tan is that even when you scrub it off, its not gone. Its on your skin for at least a week. I hate the mousse, because it drips from the bottle if you leave it without the top on. Its very runny, and if you forget to shake it, its even worse.It is bet to exfoliate the day before you apply this tan, and shave as it will sink into the open pores leaving brown dots on your skin.

Pros: Gives an average looking colour

  It gives an instant tan
Cheap

Cons: It takes a long time to get it off

Streaks easily

Smells horrible

Dries in very quick

Hard to make it even.

So, overall, I'm not a fan of this tan, It retails for €4.99 In Ireland, and I think its £3.99 in the UK. Its an 'okay' tan if you want something cheap, but personally, Im not going to repurchase this. I give it a 4/10. 

Hope you enjoyed this review.

This product was purchased with my own money. This review is 100% honest.

NOTD - Catrice cosmetics.

Todays nail of the day post is here! Sorry for the god awful picture, but I am just so in love with this colour I had to do a post. The colour is '030 Meet me at coral island' By Catrice cosmetics. This is a german brand, and their products are all very reasonably priced and have great lasting power.

The nail polishes are only €4 I think, which is extremely cheap. I have been wearing this colour for the past week, and it has barely chipped at all. 

If your looking for a good nail polish then I highly recommend Catrice. 

Have you any recommendations for good nail polishes? Leave a comment below if you do, I love finding new brands!

Thanks for reading,

Enjoy your day!

Revlon Colourstay Review

Recently I picked up this ah-mazzing foundation in boots for €17.50. I had bought it a few years ago, but foolishly, in the wrong shade, which made me look somewhat like a tangerine. Obviously not a good look for school. So, my bourjois foundation had sadly ran out *tear* , so I was adamant I was going to get a good foundation again. The colourstay foundation had amazing coverage. I would say medium to high, and you can really build it up without the cakey look. 

The consistency is quite thick, which I like in a foundation, although not too thick as I would like to be able to blend it out!. It gives a flawless finish, which I was hoping for. 

The only problem I have with this foundation, is that there is no pump :(. You can pour the foundation into the lid, but it is hard to get out that way. 

Swatch

Pros :-
Good coverage
Thick consistency
Choice of normal to dry foundation or combination to oily
Good colour range

Cons:-
On very dry skin, It may look cakey
Works best with moisturizer/primer applied beforehand
No pump

Overall, I think this foundation is probably one of the best I have ever purchased & I will definitely repurchase when it runs out. The price is a little high, but hey, it looks good so why not?

You can purchase this in Boots, Superdrug, or other drugstores.

P.s It also stays on all day, seriously, it is impossible to remove!
